We are the University College Dragonboat Team (UCDBC), and we have an exciting opportunity for you to participate in something truly remarkable!

Who Are We?

UCDBC, established in 1998, is not just a dragon boat club – it's a close-knit community where we stand together for healthy living, teamwork, and personal growth. Our mission has always been clear: to foster these values among university students, regardless of their background or level of experience. We're here to make a difference.

As university students, accessibility is a core value we hold dear. We welcome anyone who wishes to join our community with open arms. We believe that the beauty of sports and personal growth should be accessible to all, and we're committed to supporting everyone on their unique journey. It's not about where you come from; it's about where you want to go.

In 2023, UCDBC made history at the Canadian National Dragonboat Championships by qualifying for the 2024 Club Crew World Championships in Ravenna, Italy —the first time in the club's history. This is not just an achievement; it's a testament to what a diverse and passionate group of students can accomplish when they come together. We want to bring this spirit to the Club Crew World Championships.

How Funds Will Be Used:

The funds raised through our GoFundMe campaign will be allocated directly to cover the essential costs associated with our journey to compete at the Club Crew World Championships in Ravenna, Italy. Your generous contributions will go towards:

Travel Expenses: Funding will cover airfare, ground transportation, and other travel-related costs for the team to reach Italy.

Equipment and Gear: The funds will be used to acquire and upkeep specialized equipment vital for the competition, guaranteeing that we have the finest tools to perform at our best. While we primarily self-fund, we aim to ensure the sport remains accessible to all participants and to assist wherever possible!

Training Facilities: Your support will contribute to securing quality training facilities, coaching, and resources that are crucial in our preparation for the championships.

Your valuable support ensures we can channel our efforts into rigorous preparation and outstanding performance. As university students aiming to make our mark on the world stage, we strive to inspire others by showcasing dedication and achievement. Your donations are pivotal in turning our dream into a collective reality.

We invite you to participate in this incredible journey by supporting our GoFundMe page. Your assistance will directly contribute to our ability to achieve our dreams and create a legacy that goes far beyond our time in the competition. Thank you for considering joining us in this exciting venture!

Sincerely,

UCDBC Team
